Among the oldest old, aged 80 years and over, the prevalence of disability is higher than in other age groups and can be considered a predictor of mortality. Objective: To evaluate how psychosocial aspects and support networks influence the disability of these oldest-old individuals, performing a comparison between two longevous populations, one living in one of the poorest regions of Brazil, in the backlands of Paraíba, and another living in one of the largest urban centres in Latin America.

Back pain represents a substantial burden globally, ranking first in a recent assessment among causes of years lived with disability. Though back pain is widely studied among working age adults, there are gaps with respect to basic descriptive epidemiology among seniors, especially in the United States.

Globally, the leading cause of years lived with disability is low back pain (LBP). Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is responsible for most of the cost and disability associated with LBP. This is more devastating in low income countries, particularly in rural Nigeria with one of the greatest global burdens of LBP.

Low back pain (LBP) is the first cause of years lived with disability worldwide. This is due to the development of chronic pain. Thus, it is necessary to identify the best therapeutic approaches in the acute phase of LBP to limit the transition to chronic pain.

Intrapartum-related hypoxic events are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low resource countries. Neonates who receive proper resuscitation may go on to live otherwise healthy lives. However, even when a birth attendant is present, these babies frequently receive suboptimal ventilation with poor outcomes.

Chỉ số DALY (Disability-adjusted-life-year) được sử dụng để đo lường gánh nặng bệnh tật. Chỉ số DALY là tổng số năm sống bị mất do chết sớm (Years of Life Lost YLL) và số năm sống khỏe bị mất do bệnh tật (Years Lived with Disability YLD). Ở nước ta, đã có nhiều nghiên cứu đo lường gánh nặng bệnh tật và tử vong. Tuy nhiên cho đến nay chưa có nghiên cứu nào đi sâu nghiên cứu gánh nặng do bệnh tật ở tỉnh Đắk Lắk.

To overcome barriers to closing the gap between resources and the need for treatment of mental disorders, and to reduce the number of years lived with disability and deaths associated with such disorders, the World Health Organiza- tion has created the Mental Health Global Action Programme (mhGAP) as part of a major effort to implement the rec- ommendations of the World Health Report 2001 on mental health. The programme is based on strategies aimed at improving the mental health of populations.

Thirty years ago when I was a novice home care nurse, I was assigned to Margaret, a 70-year-old woman with terminal liver cancer. She lived with her husband and a disabled son. For five months, I struggled in vain to make her comfortable, to control her pain, to relieve her physical symptoms. I watched her diminish in front of me, her skin breaking down, her eyes glazed with pain, and I felt a growing helplessness. Looking back, I know she sensed my helplessness. I remember walking into her bedroom one day with dread. She was comfortable only in the fetal position on her left side. It was...

The global burden of neuropsychiatric disorders is substantial. When measured by years lived with disability and years lost due to premature death in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), psychiatric and neurological conditions accounted for 13% of the global burden of disease in 2002 (WHO, 2004). Despite the huge burden of mental illness, few human and financial resources are directed towards mental health care. Mental health spending in many countries of the world is less than 1% of the health budget, and the number of mental health professionals is grossly inadequate (WHO, 2005a)....

The first year residents of both programs accompanied a nurse during home visits to children with disabilities. This served several purposes: 1) It provided the initial exposure to the homes and the community where St. Barnabas’ patients live; 2) the visiting nurse, an experienced health care provider, modeled appropriate in-home professional behavior and sensitive interviewing skills; and 3) the residents experienced that they were both safe and welcomed in a family’s home.

With more women living longer lives the quality of the additional years becomes a central question. Healthy life years (HLYs), also referred to as disability-free life expectancy, is the number of remaining years of life that a person of a specific age is expected to live without any moderate or severe health problems or acquired disabilities (EUROSTAT 2008a). The indicator is meant to complement life expectancy data and provides information on the quality of years lived rather than the quantity.

In recent years, all western industrialized countries, and to a growing extent even many developed and developing Asian nations, have witnessed a remarkable growth in numbers of older people [1]. Future projections anticipate continued increases, particularly in numbers of individuals who are 85 years and older [1]. Although US statistics have indicated recent declines in disability trends [2], overall numbers of older individuals living with disability and functional dependence are likely to increase given projected increases in life expectancy [3].
